Aivita

Aivita arriving at Kundzinsala container terminal.

Cargo terminal

Kundzinsala terminal is a part of Riga port on the right bank of the river Daugava. Looks like a girrafe park from a distance.

The Best of 2007

To my mind this was the best photo of the year 2007. I am glad to post it once more.

Base on Mars :)

Isn't it nice? What a beautiful skyline! :) Reminds of interplanetary base. Actually this site is in Kundzinsala.

Chimney in the water

Today is the theme day-photo of cemetery, but I decided not to participate. Instead I offer a reflection photo of a chimney. The picture was taken from a bridge to Kundzinsala. Clicking on the post title will bring you to an older post about peninsula Kundzinsala.

It was dark and they looked a bit like goats.

Tonight twilight turned island landscape into surreal oriental or African prairie sunset. Behind the camera is me Karlis, Kundzinsala peninsula housing poor people as well as few rich ones, marine container terminal and other cargo facilities. Once I saw here a local oldtimer lady with some 20 goats passing through this remote area being flooded each spring by waters of river Daugava. And yes, the floodwaters enter houses of people living in Kundzinsala every year. How romantic is that?
